That would be a shallow reading, however. The last two major runtime issues wer actually one that broke the test runner and ignored a number of tests. And another runtime error was a Python Django specific sub dependency that broke the admin interface, which obviously, we don't explicitly test.
On the other hand, very recently, we had to abort a release, because of an outdated dependency that Dependabot DID actually raise.
Which is why I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, as one or two people have suggested.
But I can say that I think that the reality of working with Dependabot, is not very well reflected in popular online articles.
